Speeches by Pitcher.

“One of the gaps that we consistently see is in water safety, where interventions are often reactive rather than preventive. Following the tragic death of a young boy in a reservoir local to me in Yorkshire, I have been working on Sam’s law and with organisations such as RoSPA, the Royal Life Saving Society, and the fir…”

“As the Minister mentioned, it is International Workers’ Memorial Day, and trade unions have been here today to make sure we raise awareness of it. This year’s theme is the psychosocial interventions required to support workers and mental health. Will she take the opportunity to remember those we have lost at work, to p…”

“The UPP sounds like an absolute cultural gem, and I love anything to do with arts and culture, as a former chair of an arts and culture organisation. The Government have launched the town of culture programme, which will be an amazing way to bring people together. Does my right hon. Friend agree that that is a positive…”

“Wendy, have you and other Liberal Democrat MPs had a similar experience?”

“Alex, I do not want to make you repeat yourself, so only mention something if it is in addition. In your submission, you expressed a number of concerns about the Government’s approach to WPQ responses and their approach to FOI responses. Is there anything else that you would like to talk about?”

“Understood.”

“I will come to you first this time, Wendy, if that is okay. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, WPQs submitted via MemberHub up to 6.30 pm will be tabled on the same day. What impact, if any, would you envisage for Members if the cut-off time for electronic tabling were earlier in the day?”

“It is more that we just want to understand what the options might be going forward and whether, based on the data and the analysis that we have, that is something we would consider.”

“My hon. Friend is a true champion for mental health and has been quite an inspiration to me since I have been in Parliament. The standard is an amazing step forward for mental health in the workplace and is hugely welcome. It will save lives and help people in their everyday lives who experience suicide happening aroun…”

“In my constituency, four rural stations are served by just one train that comes every two hours. I have been fighting to get a train every hour for those stations and their communities. That train goes to Doncaster, which is a great gateway to London. Does my hon. Friend agree that while it is great having that hub in …”

“My asks to the Minister on rural roads are clear. First, will she ensure that funding frameworks properly recognise rural roads so that roads connecting villages and rural communities are not consistently deprioritised? Secondly, will she strengthen expectations on the quality and durability of repairs so that councils…”

“My hon. Friend the Member for Doncaster Central (Sally Jameson) and I have often spoken in the House about the appalling audiology service at Doncaster Royal infirmary. It has put an action plan in place, and the situation regarding first-time appointments has improved, but second and third appointments are just not ha…”

“It is wonderful to speak under your chairmanship, Dr Murrison. Rough sleeping among families and children is one of the starkest signs of a system failing at a point where people need it the most. No child should ever be exposed to that kind of trauma and no parent should ever be in the position of trying to protect th…”

“Will my hon. Friend join me in congratulating people like Flood Mary? She has, for many decades, gone up and down the country, having been flooded herself, trying to inspire people and educate them about what they can do in their home to protect themselves.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Alec. I congratulate the hon. Member for South Northamptonshire (Sarah Bool) on securing time to introduce the ten-minute rule Bill. If she wishes me to be part of her team, I am more than happy to do so. First, let me express how utterly inspirational it is to see a …”

“Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wish the hon. Member for Mid Buckinghamshire (Greg Smith) a very happy birthday. I am sure the rest of the Conservative Members are waiting for him at the party—I know they like those. How was that, Madam Deputy Speaker? Current events in the middle east have once again demonstrated t…”

“I certainly do agree. In the business case for Doncaster Sheffield airport, the South Yorkshire mayoral combined authority says that around 5,000 jobs will be created directly, with the creation of many more jobs indirectly. When I visit schools, as my hon. Friend does, I see our future pilots, engineers, manufacturers…”
